FEDERAL COURT,
April 26 – The
January 6
Capitol entry
by Nathan Degrave,
in body armor
and a helmet
he took
off to beat
his chest, gave rise to
a twice
interrupted
detention
proceeding on
February 1 in
Nevada. He was
detained.
Complaint here. Inner
City Press
live tweeted
it here and
below.
Nearly two
months later,
detained
Degrave has
arrived in the
DC jail
and had
another detention
hearing,
before
District for
the District
of Columbia
Judge Paul L.
Friedman. The
body armor, so
called, was recharacterized
as a
motorcycle
jacket. Judge
Friedman
did not rule,
saying he
wanted to
watch the
video (which
the US is
trying to
seal).
Inner City
Press again live
tweeted it, here and
below.
Now
on April 26,
DeGraves
ongoing
detention was
again considered
by Judge
Friedman,
Inner City
Press live
tweeted it here:
AUSA
says DeGrave
should be
detained, can
be
distinguished
from Munchel,
released after
DC Circuit
decision. AUSA
says he
incited theft
of government
property.
Judge
Friedman: I
don't think
we're going to
resolve this
today. There
are 9th
Circuit
decisions
saying that
Section 111
contains 3
separate
offenses. Do
they give
defendant
adequate
notice? We
went through
this on drug
cases.
Now
DeGrave's
lawyer is
saying that he
was not
correctly
Mirandized
when he said
he was in the
Capitol.
Officer said,
I have to go
through the
protocol of
reading your
rights, like
in the movies.
DeGrave's
lawyer: My
client did not
delete his
Facebook
post(s)... He
didn't bring
any weapon to
the Capitol.
Not mace. No
bear
spray.
Judge
Friedman: He
brought
weapons to DC?
DeGrave's
lawyer: No, I
disagree.
DeGrave's
lawyer: OK, he
was in a car
in which bear
spray
exploded.
Maybe it was
in Virginia.
Maybe
Kentucky.
Judge
Friedman: But
[the case]
Munchel speaks
of planning.
DeGrave's
lawyer:
Planning has
to result in
action. People
can say all
kinds of
things.
AUSA:
They were
supposed to
stay at an
AirBnB in DC,
but it was
deemed
unsuitable. So
they found a
hotel in
Maryland and
showed each
other their
guns.
Defense:
They are
bringing up
Facebook pages
at the last
minute.
AUSA:
It's cited in
my brief.
Judge
Friedman:
What's the
risk of future
obstruction of
justice?
AUSA:
He hasn't
changed his
political
ideology. He
has posted
online that
Donald Trump
is his idol.
He's still
talking about
a rigged
election. This
threat is not
purely in our
past.
Talk turns
to GPS
monitoring.
Judge
Friedman says,
I am not
deciding this
today, just
want to know
if case I
later release
him.
